    when i was installing san andreas on my 2nd hard drive i had an error message and it cancelled the installation, when i restarted the pc the hard drive had dissapeared from 'my computer' but it was showing up in device manager and the bios. i fixed this problem with partition magic, i had to format the drive and create it again. now the hard drive is quite slow. it takes ages to extract rars and load games. is there a way i can get it back to normal speed?
